Posachedwa, Apple idatenga gawo lofunikira pakukulitsa gawo la tchipisi tawo mu mafoni a m'manja: ambiri mwa bizinesi ya modem ya Intel kwa $ 1 biliyoni. Pansi pa mgwirizano, antchito a Intel 2200 adzasamukira ku Apple; omalizawo adzalandiranso nzeru, zipangizo ndi ma patenti a 17 pa matekinoloje opanda zingwe, kuyambira pamiyezo yamagetsi mpaka ma modemu. Intel idakhala ndi ufulu wopanga ma modemu amadera ena osati mafoni a m'manja, monga ma PC, zida zamafakitale ndi magalimoto odziyendetsa okha.
Apple nthawi zonse idadalira othandizira a chipani chachitatu pama modemu. Chaka chatha, Intel ndiye yekhayo amene adapanga zidazi za iPhone, kutsatira nkhondo ya Apple yokhala ndi chilolezo ndi Qualcomm. M'mwezi wa Epulo, Apple idafika modzidzimutsa kuti ma iPhones atsopano agwiritsenso ntchito ma modemu a Qualcomm. Patangotha maola ochepa nkhaniyi, Intel adalengeza kuti isiya bizinesi ya modem ya smartphone.
Apple imakonda kupeza makampani kapena mabizinesi ang'onoang'ono: mgwirizano wa Intel unali wachiwiri pakukula pambuyo pogula Beats Electronics $ 3,2 biliyoni mu 2014. Zachidziwikire, antchito atsopano, chitukuko ndi zovomerezeka zidzalola Apple kupanga ma modemu ake a 5G. Opikisana awiri akuluakulu a Apple padziko lonse lapansi, Samsung ndi Huawei, ali ndi kuthekera kotere.
Chaka chatha, The Information inanena za zoyesayesa za Apple kupanga modemu yake, koma chimphona cha Cupertino sichinavomereze mwalamulo. Mu February, Reuters inanena kuti Apple idasuntha ntchito zake zachitukuko cha modem ku gawo lomwelo lomwe limapanga Apple A single-chip systems, kusonyeza kuti kampaniyo ikuwonjezera kuyesetsa kwake kupanga ma modemu ake.
Kugula zinthu za Intel kuyenera kuthandiza Apple kufulumizitsa mapulani ake a modemu. Gwero la Reuters likuti kampaniyo ikukonzekera kugwiritsa ntchito tchipisi ta Qualcomm m'banja la iPhone chaka chino kuti ithandizire 5G, koma ikukonzekera kusinthana ndi tchipisi take pazinthu zingapo mu 2021. Intel idakonza zotulutsa modemu ya 5G mu 2020, chifukwa chake kugwiritsa ntchito zomwe akupanga kuyenera kuthandiza Apple kukwaniritsa zolinga zake.
Koma, malinga ndi tipster yemweyo, m'malo mwa Qualcomm idzachitika pang'onopang'ono: Apple ikuchita mosamala ndipo ikufuna kuwonetsetsa kuti zogulitsa zake zizigwira ntchito pamanetiweki ndi mayiko omwe amagulitsidwa. Mayankho a Qualcomm amakhala amphamvu m'derali, kotero Apple angafunike kusiya ma modemu omwe akupikisana nawo pazida zake zina. "Apple ikufunadi kuti chizoloŵezi chikhale chakale, koma chimamvetsetsanso kuti chiyenera kuchitidwa mosamala," adatero mkati.
Katswiri wina wakale wamakampani adauza atolankhani kuti mgwirizano wa ziphaso za Apple ndi Qualcomm ukhala zaka zina zisanu ndi chimodzi, ndipo mgwirizano wophatikizidwa ndi chip ukhoza kukhalabe wovomerezeka panthawiyo. M'malingaliro ake, Apple ipitiliza kugwiritsa ntchito tchipisi ta Qualcomm m'mitundu yake yodziwika bwino, ndipo pamitengo yotsika mtengo komanso yakale idzasinthira ku mayankho ake.
Pachitukuko cha modemu, Apple akuti ikugwirizana ndi Global Unichip yaku Taiwan, yomwe imathandizidwa ndi TSMC, koma ntchitoyi idakali koyambirira. Izi, mwachiwonekere, zinali chifukwa cha mgwirizano ndi Qualcomm ndipo izi zidapangitsanso Apple kupeza bizinesi ya Intel.
Chida chamtengo wapatali kwambiri cha mgwirizano wa Intel kwa Apple chikhoza kukhala ma patent. Kuti mugulitse iPhone ya 5G, kampaniyo ikuyenera kuchita mapangano ndi omwe ali ndi ma patent akuluakulu a 5G, kuphatikiza Nokia, Ericsson, Huawei ndi Qualcomm. Loya wa patent a Erick Robinson, yemwe kale ankagwira ntchito ku dipatimenti yopereka zilolezo ku Qualcomm ku Asia, adati ma patent atha kupatsa Apple chida chachikulu pakukambirana za chilolezo: "Sindikuganiza kuti mbiri ya Intel yopanda zingwe yofanana ndi ya Qualcomm, koma ndi yayikulu mokwanira. zimakhudza mtengo wakupatsirana malayisensi."
